Leicester City have released Matthew Upson after five appearances this season.

The 36 year old defender struggled to be fit all season long and only featured in five matches for a total of 375 minutes of playing time. The injuries have piled up and age is a factor for Upson, who isn't likely to be a Premier League player next season. Avoid him in all fantasy formats, especially since there is a large chance his playing days are over. Sat, Jun 13, 2015 01:04:00 PM

Matthew Upson was credited with an own goal in Leicester's 2-2 draw against Everton.

Two minutes before the final whistle, Romelu Lukaku sent a powerful header towards goal that deflected off of Matthew Upson and went in. Upson was credited with an own goal despite the goal not really being his fault. The own goal was the reason Upson ended up with a negative fantasy point and his price is now a low £ 1 M. Upson should be Leicester's starter going forward so having a £ 1 M defender on your bench that actually plays should be a great way to afford more expensive pieces elsewhere. Add him to your squad and spend willingly elsewhere. Sun, Feb 22, 2015 12:59:00 PM

Matt Upson is finally feeling healthy and hopes to repay Leicester for the patience they had during his injury absence.

Upson suffered a foot injury soon after signing with Leicester and has missed almost the entire season so far. The defender is 35-years-old, so whether he can stay healthy to make a difference in the relegation race is a big question, but Leicester will have to hope for the best as their defense has really struggled without Upson. For what it's worth, Upson says he is feeling better with every match and hopes to start again this weekend. He is only a fantasy option in the deep leagues. Thu, Feb 19, 2015 02:25:00 PM

Matthew Upson could make his return from injury against Manchester United this weekend.

The Leicester City defender has been out for an extended period of time with an ankle injury and has taken a long time to return to match fitness. He is at the point where he will likely be included in the Leicester squad this weekend but an appearance off the bench is more likely. He is not a fantasy option at the moment.
